'''Deerling's Season Slider''' is an online game similar on the popular {{wp|Collapse!}} series of games. The game is a marker clearing game. There are four different markers, each representing one of the four different [[Season (mechanic)|seasons]]. Players use the arrow to draw a line connecting at least three adjacent markers of the same type to remove them and score points. 60 degree angles are not allowed. Players connect at least four season markers to earn a "good" rating. Bonus points are earned by obtaining a sufficient amount of good ratings. As markers are cleared, the matching Fever Gauge increases. Once one of the Fever Gauges reaches the maximum amount, the game enters Fever Mode, which is represented by a form of {{p|Sawsbuck}}. In Fever Mode, the point values increase. In addition, only a single type of markers fall, matching the coat of the Sawsbuck. For example, winter markers fall when Sawsbuck is in its winter form. During Fever Mode, it is possible to connect less than three markers to make them disappear. The game has a time limit of three minutes. Once time is up, the game ends. Players receive extra points based on the trophies won.

Once it is filled, a disc containing one of the starters may be launched. Once the disc lands in a barrel, players obtain a power-up after filling the barrel. Though more than one power-up can run at a time, discs can override any barrels with a different starter. When the game ends, players earn a time bonus (if any) and 1000 points per coin.

'''Joltik's Super Circuit!''' is a game that features {{p|Joltik}}. In this game, players swap panels forming a 4x4 grid to connect colored outlets. There are 3 colors: red, blue, and green. Once a connection is formed between at least two like colors, a circuit is formed, and the appropriate colored gauge increases until maxed. The used panels and outlets are replaced after each connection. Once all 3 colored gauges are full, players enter charge mode, where players have a limited time to swap panels to create as much circuits as possible. When the timer runs out, or when all panels have current, bonus points are rewarded, with extra points for time remaining, if any. The game continues until a total of 15 moves with current are formed (not counting charge mode). Points are awarded depending on the number of panels and number of running lines. At the end, trophies are awarded depending on performance.

'''Maractus's Blooming Blossoms!''' features {{p|Maractus}}. In it, players match leaves of the same color in order to make rings disappear. The leaves are arranged into several rings of red, black, and green, which players rotate with the click of a mouse. Players rotate the leaves so that one whole ring contains only leaves of a single color (either red or green, not both) at which point the ring disappears and any leaves above it fall in its place. Initially, players gain 49 points plus points for the amount of rings removed until that point, with players being unable to make black leaves disappear. However, when 8 red rings or 8 green rings are cleared out (indicated by the red and green bars on the bottom of the screen), the game enters a mode known as 'Power Mode', in which a ~2.1x multiplier is given for each ring cleared, with the black leaves turning into silver ones and becoming clearable. From here, and in the same manner, players potentially upgrade to 'Double Power Mode', in which the silver leaves turn gold and a ~2.5x multiplier is applied, and finally, 'Triple Power Mode' in which the gold leaves become rainbow leaves (which may be matched with any color) and a ~3.5x multiplier is applied. Players instantly achieve a variation of 'Triple Power Mode' by filling both red and green bars simultaneously. However, in this case, a multiplier of about ~4.5x is applied for clearing rings. All Power Modes are temporary, ending as soon as the timer bar on the bottom becomes fully black again.

===Pokémon Pulse!===
===Pokémon Pulse!===
'''Pokémon Pulse!''' was  In this game, players match Fire {{e|Fire}}, Grass {{e|Grass}}, and Water {{e|Water}} Energy with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, and {{p|Froakie}}. Players again power for their Energy meter and 100 points for each Energy Orb that reaches the corresponding Pokémon of that Energy type. Selecting an Orb makes it disappear. Players lose Energy if the Pokémon are hit by an Energy Orb of the wrong type or by a Danger Orb with a gray spiral design. Random Orbs cause random events to happen if selected, though not all events are necessarily helpful. Random events include a times five (x5) point modifier, resetting all Energy Orbs on screen to the correct Energy type, changing in which row the Pokémon appear, and changing Energy Orbs into Danger Orbs. When the Energy meter runs out, the game is over.

===Chesnaught's Spiky Shield===
===Chesnaught's Spiky Shield===
In '''Chesnaught's Spiky Shield''', players protect {{p|Chesnaught}} by moving his spiky shield around to stop incoming objects from hitting the Pokémon. Deflecting damaging objects scores points: Pin Missiles (100 points) and Rock Wreckers (150 points). String Shots (300 points) also temporarily slow the speed with which players turn the spiky shield. Different objects move a different speeds, with the slowest objects causing the most damage. A times two (x2) point modifier is default with each deflection, but the multiplier increases by one for each additional object that is deflected simultaneously or in immediate sequence. Do not block [[Oran Berry|Oran Berries]], however, as they fill Chesnaught's power gauge, which provides more effective spiky shields for a brief period of time. The spiky shield typically covers about one quarter of Chesnaught at a time, though it occasionally expands to cover two opposite quarters at the same time before reverting back. When Chesnaught's health gauge is empty, the game is over.
